APA style referencing

To let readers see the range and quality of your reading for
a particular topic.

To direct readers to particular sources for further
information.

One common style used to reference
sources has been developed by the American Psychological
Association (APA).

Others exist (such as the Harvard style), so
when submitting a paper for publication you should always check the
style of referencing required.
